“…The kettlebell swing has received more attention than the kettlebell snatch in the scientific literature, possibly due to the relative ease of teaching and learning of the swing compared to the snatch. The kettlebell swing has been found to be an effective exercise for improving jump ability (Jay et al 2013;Lake & Lauder 2012a;Lake & Lauder 2012b;Otto III et al 2012), strength (Beltz et al 2013;Lake & Lauder 2012a;Lake & Lauder 2012b;Manocchia et al 2010;Otto III et al 2012) and aerobic fitness (Beltz et al 2013;Falatic et al 2015;Farrar et al 2010;Hulsey et al 2012;Thomas et al 2013). Previous research involving the (one armed) kettlebell snatch found the bilateral mechanical demands were similar to that reported for the two handed kettlebell swing in several ways (Lake et al 2014).…”

“…To date, the barbell snatch has received much attention and reviews of the literature have demonstrated it be an effective exercise for strength and power development (Escamilla et al 2000;Garhammer 1993). In contrast, the kettlebell snatch has only just started to receive research attention (Falatic et al 2015;Lake et al 2014;McGill & Marshall 2012;Ross et al 2015).…”

Background. Kettlebell lifting has gained increased popularity as both a form of resistance training and as a sport, despite the paucity of literature validating its use as a training tool. Kettlebell sport requires participants to complete the kettlebell snatch continuously over prolonged periods of time. Kettlebell sport and weightlifting involve similar exercises, however their traditional uses suggest they are better suited to training different fitness qualities. This study examined the three dimensional ground reaction force (GRF) and force applied to the kettlebell over a six minute kettlebell snatch set in 12 kettlebell trained males.

Additionally, the kettlebell swing was suggested to be a useful exercise for improving sprinter performance as it has a higher ratio of horizontal to vertical GRF compared to squat variations (Beardsley & Contreras, 2014).…”

BackgroundKettlebell lifting has gained increased popularity as both a form of resistance training and as a sport, despite the paucity of literature validating its use as a training tool. Kettlebell sport requires participants to complete the kettlebell snatch continuously over prolonged periods of time. Kettlebell sport and weightlifting involve similar exercises, however, their traditional uses suggest they are better suited to training different fitness qualities. This study examined the three-dimensional ground reaction force (GRF) and force applied to the kettlebell over a 6 min kettlebell snatch set in 12 kettlebell-trained males.MethodsDuring this set, VICON was used to record the kettlebell trajectory with nine infrared cameras while the GRF of each leg was recorded with a separate AMTI force plate. Over the course of the set, an average of 13.9 ± 3.3 repetitions per minute were performed with a 24 kg kettlebell. Significance was evaluated with a two-way ANOVA and paired t-tests, whilst Cohen’s F (ESF) and Cohen’s D (ESD) were used to determine the magnitude.ResultsThe applied force at the point of maximum acceleration was 814 ± 75 N and 885 ± 86 N for the downwards and upwards phases, respectively. The absolute peak resultant bilateral GRF was 1,746 ± 217 N and 1,768 ± 242 N for the downwards and upwards phases, respectively. Bilateral GRF of the first and last 14 repetitions was found to be similar, however there was a significant difference in the peak applied force (F (1.11) = 7.42, p = 0.02, ESF = 0.45). Unilateral GRF was found have a significant difference for the absolute anterior–posterior (F (1.11) = 885.15, p < 0.0001, ESF = 7) and medio-lateral force vectors (F (1.11) = 5.31, p = 0.042, ESF = 0.67).DiscussionOver the course of a single repetition there were significant differences in the GRF and applied force at multiple points of the kettlebells trajectory. The kettlebell snatch loads each leg differently throughout a repetition and performing the kettlebell snatch for 6 min will result in a reduction in peak applied force.

“…In this study 31 subjects were assigned to either a kettlebell training protocol or a resistance training protocol, which acted as the control. The control group trained twice per week, performing high pulls, power cleans, and back squats with an intensity consistent with power development (four sets of six repetitions at 80% of one repetition maximum) [10,11]. The kettlebell training group used one size kettlebell (16kg) and performed swings, accelerated swings, and goblet squats.…”
